| Category | Command | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System Info | uname -a | Displays kernel version and system architecture. |
| Resources | htop or top | Real-time monitoring of CPU, RAM, and processes. |
| Disk Usage | df -h | Shows available disk space in human-readable format. |

| Logs | journalctl -xe | Views recent system logs to diagnose boot or service failures. |
"No Space Left on Device": Run sudo du -sh /var/log/* to find bloated logs. Use sudo apt clean or sudo dnf clean all to clear package caches.
Service Won't Start: Use sudo systemctl status <service_name> to see the error. Often, a syntax error in /etc/<service>/ is the culprit.
SSH Connection Refused: Ensure the service is running (sudo systemctl start ssh) and that the Juneau-specific firewall allows port 22 (sudo ufw allow 22).
A great server starts with a solid foundation. Follow these best practices we use for our clients:
🔒 Security First: Always disable root login via SSH. Use SSH keys instead of passwords.
🛡️ Firewall Configuration: Enable UFW (Ubuntu/Debian) or Firewalld (RHEL/Fedora) immediately and only open the ports you strictly need.
⏲️ Automated Backups: Never rely on a single disk. We recommend setting up automated rsync or off-site cloud backups.
Static IP Assignment: Ensure your server has a static IP via Netplan or NetworkManager so services remain reachable after a reboot.
Keep it Lean: Only install the packages you need. This reduces the "attack surface" and saves system resources.
